Abstract. Greenwashing has long been an issue in Western and developed countries. Yet, this matter regrettably remains quite underexplored among academics in developing and emerging markets, especially in Indonesia. The presented quantitative research focuses on the impact of greenwashing perception, green word of mouth ("green WOM") and green marketing on intentions to purchase items at H&M in Jakarta. Hypotheses were answered with the SEM-PLS model using SmartPLS3 software. Based on a questionnaire administered to 200 respondents, results show that the perception of greenwashing has a direct negative impact on consumers' purchase intentions and an indirect negative impact through green WOM, which can be influenced by the factor of lack of concern and awareness in Jakarta. These findings stand in contrast to several studies in Europe that were used as a reference while conducting this research. At the same time, green WOM strengthens the positive impact between green marketing and purchase intentions. Practical implications for companies include taking substantial steps towards sustainability and the need to adopt a fact-based approach without embellishment.

The Covid-19 epidemic and associated changes in everyday life have exacerbated existing inequalities between people, particularly in the case of many invisible, vulnerable, and marginalised groups, and exposed systemic weaknesses in addressing their needs. The study "The needs of LGBTQ+ people over 50 during the Covid-19 epidemic" explored the impact of emergencies on the daily lives of LGBTQ+ people. In the interviews, interviewees highlighted the hardships of those LGBTQ+ people who have a small social network and/or are not in a partnership, as well as limited access to shared events and safe spaces where people can live according to their identity. Interviewees had both positive and negative experiences with health and other services and emphasised the importance of having access to services and the need for aware and trained providers who are able to accommodate to the unique circumstances of LGBTQ+ people. The findings highlight the importance of researching the experiences and life trajectories of people in times of emergencies in order to better respond to identified needs.

Tole tematsko številko smo posebej težko pričakovali. Tema spolne in seksualne
identitete je v reviji Socialno delo redko, a vendarle kontinuirano zastopana.
Tokrat pa smo se osredotočili na izzive, povezane s staranjem, s katerimi se
spoprijemata LGBT+ skupnost in socialno delo. Pri tem »skupnost« razumemo
v simbolnem in političnem pomenu besede, kot nekaj, kar nam usmeri pogled
v potencial samoorganiziranja ljudi (in ga hkrati motivira), in ne kot mitološko
entiteto, ki za starejšo LGBT+ generacijo morda nima vedno oprijemljivega
pomena

Perceptions of professional identity and its formation during education at the Faculty of Social Work, University of Ljubljana

Professional identity in social work can be described as a collection of identifiable and enduring professional qualities of social workers that bind them together as a professional group and make them different and unique compared to other professional groups. As the social work profession is devalued and stigmatized around the world, exploring the processes involved in developing a strong and positive professional identity is of great importance. The need to explore social work professional identity has been recognized in some places abroad and has mainly focused on researching professional identity formation during social work education. This paper presents findings on the definition and role of professional identity in social work, focusing on professional identity formation during education at the Faculty of Social Work, University of Ljubljana. Qualitative research on social work students' perceptions of professional identity is presented, as well as suggestions for a more frequent and discrete treatment of the topic during the education of future social workers.

Abstract. The present article explores the use of grammatical forms in job advertisements published over the
past 60 years (1958, 1978, 1998 and 2018). A historical
examination of the use of gender forms in employment
is based on analysis of job advertisements published
in the Slovenian language, and the particular socioeconomic context. The results show that the frequency
of use of the masculine, feminine and neutral forms
has not drastically altered over the decades. In general,
feminine and neutral forms were used less frequently,
and the masculine grammatical form consistently dominates. In 2018, the latter was seemingly 'neutralised' by
adding the abbreviation M/F

Povzetek. Članek analizira aktualnost teoretičnih rešitev škotskega ekonomskega misleca Adama Smitha za dobo poznega kapitalizma. Zagovarja re-aktualizacijo vseh tistih Smithovih teoretičnih rešitev, ki so bile
v zadnjem obdobju zanemarjene, vključno z nakazano Smithovo motivacijsko dohodkovno-profitno in sistemsko tržno-plansko dualnostjo gospodarjenja. Zavzema se za oživitev Smithove ekonomske misli, s katere pomočjo je treba ugotoviti, kako manj polno zaposlena gospodarstva
bolj polno zaposliti. Članek Smithovo teorijo nadgrajuje s Keynesovimi
rešitvami ekonomskih kriz. Poudarja pomembnost reafirmacije politične
ekonomije kot družbene znanosti, ki je povezana z družbeno odgovornim
gospodarjenjem.
